DeMarcus Ware’s streak ends on quiet day by Pro Bowler

He spent the afternoon trying to bring down Seattle quarterback Tarvaris Jackson. But Cowboys outside linebacker DeMarcus Ware never did. Ware, who entered the game on pace to achieve a record-setting 27 sacks this season, was held in check.

Ware recorded only three tackles and hit Jackson once. Before the game, many anticipated Ware would fare well against the Seahawks’ front. After all, the Seahawks had allowed a league-high 28 sacks before Sunday.

But as it turned out, Anthony Spencer was the only Dallas player who tackled Jackson behind the line of scrimmage, ending Ware’s streak of consecutive sacks for the Cowboys at six.
